Ledo ice cream

Ledo is the most prestigious ice cream and frozen food brand in Southeast Europe. Established in 1958 in Zagreb, Croatia, the brand rose to prominence under the Yugoslavian state enterprise system before becoming a staple of the Croatian food industry. Known for its iconic products like the King bar, Macho, and Quatro tubs, Ledo has long been synonymous with summer and quality frozen treats across the Balkan peninsula.

Following years of ownership under the Croatian conglomerate Fortenova Group (formerly Agrokor), the brand underwent a significant corporate shift. In 2021, Nomad Foods, a European leader in the frozen food sector, acquired the Ledo Plus and Frikom business units. This acquisition integrated the Croatian legacy brand into a massive international network, ensuring that while the manufacturing remains rooted in regional facilities in Zagreb and Belgrade, the strategic direction and investment come from a global industry giant.

Today, Ledo maintains its market leadership by combining its traditional recipes with modern distribution networks. As part of Nomad Foods, the brand continues to expand its reach, benefiting from the parent company's extensive research, development, and sustainability initiatives while maintaining its distinct local identity and manufacturing footprint in Croatia.
